Abstract

We have studied the design, fabrication and characterization of free-standing rolled-up InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot microtube ring resonators, formed by the controlled release of coherently strained InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot heterostructures from the host substrate. The dependence of the 3-dimenionally confined optical modes on the tube wall thickness and surface geometry is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. We have further demonstrated optically pumped rolled-up microtube lasers at room temperature, which exhibit emission wavelengths in the range of 1.1 - 1.3 μm and a low threshold of ~ 4 μW. The design and fabrication of electrically injected rolled-up InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot microtube devices is also described.
